No need for PM...we're all about putting it out there on this website.

I called the guy (Jim D) when I first bought my '93 FHP Mustang....he went out of his way to talk to me on the phone for a good 15 minutes about my speedo cable issue, all without me even buying anything from him. Very good first experience....very positive, and nice of him to help.

However, when Mike R. put up ORG, things changed a bit. Jim D. had the SSpony group going, but Mike's forum was much better than the eGroup. Mike was quoted in a magazine article and Jim D wasn't given credit for some of the info, which he originally had posted on the EVOOA site (Jim D had the first site up, even before his page was moved to EVOOA)...things had started adding up. He ended up showing up on ORG after being banned, posing as someone else (I caught this when I was a mod over there).

I bought a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff from him one time, including NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) tails for my '83. I received Daniel Carpenter repops. I called him, and he told me that they were identical to NOS and that I could return the repops at MY expense if I wanted to. He advertised them as NOS, and I paid for NOS. He also sent me a spare tire cover that looked like it was made from some material you can get at Lowe's or Home Depot, and told me that Ford had "several" versions of them. I'm sorry; I drove one in service, worked around them, and saw literally hundreds of them at auctions that I actually attended (some of the dealers who went to them know me). I never saw anything that looked like what he sent.

Then there's the whole deal about him posting he was going to put all of the parts he had away and not sell them to enthusiasts any longer, etc. etc. etc. That's the short version.
